Africa's richest man according to Forbes, Aliko Dangote has expressed interest in becoming the owner of English top flight giants, Arsenal FC.
The Nigerian billionaire worth $15.7 billion still wants to buy Arsenal despite failing in a 2010 bid to acquire a stake in the club.
But the plan to buy the North London club is not an immediate priority for the Nigerian billionaire, as he hopes he can convince the owners to sell "at the right price" in the future.
While speaking to Bloomberg he further says he is ready to offer the owners of Arsenal "a price they won't want to resist".
According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Dangote is worth three times more than the current major shareholder at Arsenal, Stan Kroenke who holds 67 percent of Arsenal.
But Dangote will have to convince Kroenke to give up his 67 percent shares of Arsenal as well as 30 percent owned by Red and White Sec Limited under the control of Uzbek billionaire Alisher Usmanov and Farhad Moshiri Supersport reports.
